Your Type
You don't seek the spotlight, preferring to be a safe haven for others; giving warmth and peace is the core driving your life. This selfless trait of "always prioritizing others' pain" actually masks your resistance to "looking directly at and dealing with your own trauma"; you fear your inner black hole is too terrifying, so you use "saving others and over-empathizing" to distract yourself, trying to heal yourself while healing others. But if you only tend to others' bleeding wounds, your heart will also dry up. Try setting a time boundary next time someone vents negative emotions to you, and schedule a solitary healing time for yourself afterward; when you learn to be a safe haven for your own soul first, your warmth will be enduring and firm.
💡 Did you know?
Highly empathic people release the same serotonin levels after helping others as those they helped — kindness is a bidirectional neurochemical reward.
